About Us

Owned by the OrthoIndy physicians, IOH is central Indiana’s first specialty hospital with a direct focus on bone, joint, spine and muscle care and the most technologically advanced facility available for orthopaedic care in the Midwest. IOH focuses on musculoskeletal care and complex surgical procedures including total joints (hip and knee) and spinal operations.

Spanning over 130,000 square feet, IOH was built when OrthoIndy physicians saw an increasing need to provide specialized orthopaedic care in a patient-focused environment. Designed by orthopaedic physicians and healthcare architects, IOH is light, airy and modern, offering patients, as well as their family members, a comfortable and home-like environment. IOH now has two additional facilities, located in Brownsburg and Greenwood, featuring an OrthoIndy clinic, outpatient surgery, MRI and physical therapy.

Services provided by IOH will enable patients to return to a more active lifestyle, quicker and in most cases, with less pain. Because of advancements in medical technology, many of the surgeries performed at IOH can be completed on an outpatient basis, consisting of patient stays lasting 23 hours or less. For patients who are undergoing more invasive procedures, IOH provides inpatient care with round-the-clock patient-focused services and staff.

IOH is ACR accredited and HFAP certified.

History
In 1962, Dr. Donald Blackwell and Dr. F. Robert Brueckmann founded the Blackwell and Brueckmann Partnership, which became the foundation for a unique medical practice that now spans over four decades. Today, that group is known as OrthoIndy.

Within the United States, OrthoIndy ranks among the largest private full-service orthopaedic groups and is the largest orthopaedic group in Indiana and the Midwest. Currently the group consists of over 75 physicians, including physicians who specialize in primary care, physical medicine and rehabilitation and anesthesiology. OrthoIndy physicians are involved in producing quality outcomes on the leading edge of research and development of new procedures and techniques.

As OrthoIndy continues to grow, the commitment to quality care that was the foundation of the corporation back in 1962 remains firmly intact. What began as a two-physician groups dedicated to orthopaedic trauma has evolved into a consortium of the finest orthopaedic surgeons in the nation.

On March 1, 2005, OrthoIndy opened the Indiana Orthopaedic Hospital (IOH) to provide central Indiana residents with complete bone, joint, spine and muscle care in a patient-focused, like-home environment. IOH is one of the most technologically advanced facility available for orthopaedic care in the Midwest. IOH is a physician-owned hospital model, which provides patients with high quality care with the physician involved in every aspect of the patient’s treatment. With the physicians playing the role of the patient advocate, they personally decide what type of treatment is most appropriate and beneficial, putting the care of their patients first and not focusing only on the bottom line.

IOH has received national recognition from quality ranking and voting agencies including: HealthGrades, Press Ganey and CareChex. Receiving recognition of this magnitude demonstrates that IOH continues to raise the bar in the orthopaedic care provided to the community, state and Midwest.
